The revolving door

The incoming Parlophone label and existing Warner Bros UK label will be united under one management team led by long term EMI man Miles Leonard and although a number of execs will have combined Parlophone/Warner Bros responsibilities, the two units will seemingly retain some autonomy, with overall Warner UK chief Christian Tattersfield keeping a Co-Chair role atop Warner Bros. The mini-major's Atlantic and Rhino UK divisions will be unaffected.

Leonard's team will include Mandy Plumb, who will become SVP Marketing for the Parlophone/Warner Bros division, while Kevin McCabe will be SVP Media for the combined label unit. Both come to Warner via its PLG acquisition. Elsewhere in the Warner UK mini-empire, Max Lousada will continue to be Chairman of Atlantic Records UK, while Dan Chalmers will continue to oversee the company's catalogue, distribution and artist services operations. Jeremy Marsh, until now Vice Chairman of Warner Bros Records UK, will take on the new role of VP International Marketing for the whole of Warner Music UK, taking over from the departing Mike Allen. Also with roles at a Warner Music UK level are Bob Workman, who becomes VP Brand Partnerships; Rich Robinson, who will become VP Sync for UK and Europe; and Derek Allen, who will be SVP Sales.

Live Nation has announced the appointment of Robb Spitzer to the role of MD for the live giant's Chinese division. 

Kobalt Label Services has appointed sync expert Bree Nevin to the role of Creative Brand & Synchronisation Manager, giving her a role in seeking sync and brand opportunities for the labels the Kobalt division represents.

Universal Music has appointed David Rowe to the job of GM A&R & Commerce within its UK catalogue division. Rowe previously ran catalogue campaigns for EMI.
